My occasional wrist tendonitis is greatly relieved by a home made striking 
device (see photos below).

Wearing a wrist brace by itself (available at medical supply 
stores) does not relieve much of the impact stress on the wrist tendons. But 
gluing a felt striker onto the brace directly under the wrist, relieves all of 
the pressure, and feels very good. It even feels like a massage. The brace 
has a metal bar that distributes the impact over several inches along the 
underside of your wrist. 

Since this prosthesis places your hand farther forward, it is best to remove 
the fallboard.
